Grounds Maintenance
Well-kept outdoor spaces can transform a housing community. Our Grounds Maintenance team works year-round to keep your estates neat, safe, and welcoming. We understand that green spaces, no matter how big or small, are a source of pride and enjoyment for residents. From trimming lawns in the summer to clearing leaves in the autumn, Just Ask takes care of it all with an expert touch.
Our approach is proactive and tailored. We create and maintain attractive, tidy outdoor areas that residents can enjoy – and that housing managers can be proud of. A tidy environment not only improves curb appeal but also contributes to safer, more cohesive communities. By keeping grass, trees, and pathways in good condition, we help prevent hazards and ensure everyone has access to pleasant outdoor spaces right on their doorstep.
Expert Care For Green Space
Our gardeners and groundskeepers are professionally trained and passionate about what they do. Every team member receives City & Guilds accredited training in grounds maintenance , so they have the skills and knowledge to care for your landscaping to the highest standard.
We are also members of the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI), following industry best practices in horticulture and environmental management.
Grounds Maintenance Offering
Grass Cutting & Lawn Care:
Regular grass cutting and lawn edging to keep turf areas neat and healthy. We also manage lawn health through seeding and feeding as needed.
Weed & Moss Control:
Removal of weeds from paths, car parks, and planted areas, and treatment of moss or algae on walkways. This keeps hard surfaces clean, safe, and slip-free, while preserving the appearance of the estate.
Hedge & Shrub Maintenance:
Trimming hedges, pruning shrubs, and caring for rose beds to ensure they remain well-shaped and do not overgrow into paths or windows. Well-maintained hedgerows and plants help enhance security and the overall look of the site.
Tree Management:
Basic tree care and monitoring. Our team will carry out minor pruning of low-level tree branches and report any trees that require specialist arborist attention. We keep an eye on tree health and safety, helping to address potential issues early.
Flowerbeds & Planting:
Planting seasonal flowers, watering, and weeding flowerbeds or planters. We can work with you on seasonal planting schemes that add colour and cheer to the community, fostering pride among residents.
Litter & Leaf Clearance:
Regular sweeping of paths and open areas, collection of fallen leaves in autumn, and ongoing litter picking to keep outdoor spaces clean and debris-free. This includes emptying outdoor bins and ensuring play areas and courtyards are tidy.
Waste Removal & Recycling:
Removal of green waste, trimmings, and bulk rubbish from grounds. We dispose of all waste responsibly, recycling wherever possible. If we encounter any hazardous items (like syringes or glass), our team is trained in safe removal of sharps and dangerous materials.
Playground and Hardscape Upkeep:
Safety checks and basic maintenance for communal playgrounds, courtyards, fences, and pathways. We’ll report any damage (like broken play equipment, uneven paving, or faulty lighting) so it can be repaired promptly, helping to keep residents – especially children – safe.
Seasonal Approach
We take a seasonal approach to grounds maintenance, planning tasks to suit the time of year. In winter, for example, we can gritting paths or clearing snow if required, while in spring and summer we focus on growth and planting. This ensures your outdoors always look their best, season after season.
Environmentally conscious practices are part of our grounds service. We use modern equipment (including electric mowers and tools where feasible to reduce noise and pollution) and manage green waste through composting or recycling.
Our team also looks for ways to encourage biodiversity, such as planting pollinator-friendly flowers if appropriate, so that your green spaces are not only clean but also ecologically friendly.
The Always Thorough ethos is evident in our gardening work. We don’t just do the obvious jobs and leave; we pay attention to the little things. From straight lawn stripes to swept corners, the difference is clear. Residents will notice and appreciate the care given to their surroundings.
